Things to do

-Nature. Just to the west is the Foix reservoir, a picturesque expanse of water enclosed by forest, tall hills, vineyards and the magnificent Castellet castle, which dates to the 900s, but has been the site of a fort for more than 2,500 years. The park is crossed by scenic trails, including one that links the castle here with the stunning Romanesque fortified convent a few kilometres away in Penyafort.

-Beaches. Costa Dorada beaches are a simple drive to the south. At places like Calafell, Sant Salvador and Comaruga you can revel in golden sandy beaches, backed by promenades boasting restaurants serving fresh seafood. The resort of Cunit is a real standout here, with two kilometres of sheltered sandy beaches, awarded the prestigious Blue Flag for their amenities and services.

-Food and drink. In rural Catalonia the best places to buy local wine, as well as a selection of other items produced in the area are “cooperativa” shops – it’s a cost-effective way for local farmers to get their produce on the market. At the Sant Jaume dels Domenys cooperativa you’ll find a range of wines, as well as olive oil, olives, together with all kinds of dried fruit and nuts.

-Sights and attractions. One of Spain’s best theme parks, PortAventura, is just 40 minutes from Sant Jaume dels Domenys – it’s updated every year with state-of-the-art rollercoasters, and there are shows and amusements to entertain every member of the family. For contrast you could also make the short trip to the Santes Creus monastery, a breathtaking Cistercian monastery complex dating to the 1100s, with gothic and Romanesque features.

-Tarragona. This city is on the coast, and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its Roman heritage. For a very brief period it was even the centre of the Roman Empire, and today you’ll discover the amphitheatre, forum, parts of the circus, defensive walls, ceremonial arch and a large portion of an aqueduct just outside the city.

Recent Reviews

We stayed on this Olive and Almond estate for the month of October and our hosts Rene and Georgina were very friendly and helpful. The apartment it stylish and comfortable and not far from the coast. Especially useful is the large utility room with washer/dryer and storage of barbeque equipment. There are magnificent views of the surrounding countryside from every aspect. The area has many Roman remains and the villa at Altafulla was especially impressive. We would also recommend the many monasteries dotted about the area. I would highly
recommend this property to anyone wanting a quiet and restful holiday.

The villa is conveniently located for the beach and the town. It was clean and well kept, the pictures are an accurate representation. There is some noise in the master bedroom, it didn't bother us but I'd bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. The pool is great and we were often the only ones using it. Peter quickly responded to any queries we had and we had no issues with the villa. The surrounding area and town are lovely with a variety of bars and restaurants to suit anyone.

Francoise greeted us on our arrival and spent some time showing us the apartment and advising us about the location. It is a fantastic property, equipped with everything you could possibly need.
The views from the apartment balcony and private rooftop terrace are magnificent.
There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, particularly a great Italian restaurant along the promenade.
A thoroughly enjoyable stay and would definitely return.
